This is an artificial and silly way to view security. Nobody gives a shit about your gaming site, but the data I obtain from your gaming site will be useful in obtaining more valuable accounts or real life threats. For example, if the gaming site shows you how much you play and when, I can be pretty sure you're not going to be home during the hours when you've never played except for national holidays. If it shows in-game "friends", I can contact them saying I know you from the game and haven't seen you on lately, etc etc etc and obtain additional information through social eng.
Your thought process is akin to saying it makes no sense to spend $5k to patch a 2" crack in a dam because the crack is only 2".
No, you actually do have an obligation to not be naive and pretend crime can't happen. Many of the things you list are just outright negligence. If you exhibit many of he negligent behaviors your list, they affect the crime(s) committed and your ability to recover losses. For example, if your home door is unlocked and a theft occurs, the crimes committed are less than if the door was locked, and your ability to recover damages from your insurance will likely be impacted.
This is why I don't try to change the mind of anyone who isn't willing to google for 2 minutes. You are very interested in fighting with me. You are perhaps interested in psychologically protecting your preconceived beliefs. You are far less interested in the actual issue.

Well, because I am not here to change minds. I added my thoughts on something I have followed closely for a long time. Digging up resources to convince you... I'm not clear on why I would bother with that. If you won't google yourself, you are either certain that I'm making it up or you aren't that interested in the topic.
You're all over the place. First you seemed to think the salary was a max. It's a median. Now you're whining about sample size. Perhaps you'd like to correct some grammar, too? These are the desperate whines from someone who likely, deep down, knows that if he spent 3 mins googling for himself, meeting whatever superior sample size and grammar standards he has, he would quickly see my point about outrageously inflated tech salaries is correct.
Salary data is everywhere. Take your pick. It would take much less time than searching for something to quibble about in the data I casually happen to come across in my daily reading
I would think it'd be easier to deploy a driverless shuttle on the strip. There is a very intentional effort to erect physicals barriers to separate the drunk pedestrians from the drunk drivers. Without pedestrians to worry about, it would seem to be an almost artificially good area to deploy a driverless shuttle
What? Did you read the link I posted? It doesn't seem like youndid. The list is median base salary for each position.
I have no idea what your jabs about flyover country are referring to. Its not a list of coastal median salary. It's national median salary. I live in TX and can confirm that median salary for a software engineer.
Do a little research and then let me know if you still think I am pushing agenda. It sounds like you are not very familiar with market tech salaries.
It's the numbers I had at the ready. But it really doesn't matter. There is a housing stipend, and I have the utmost faith in the intelligence of you/. commenters to be able to work the various cost of living calculators available freely online.
But in the meantime I came across a better example. Here is the top paid positions per LinkedIn salary data. Start at the top and stop when you find the highest paid position that requires only an undergrad degree. Then stop whining.
Your premise is wrong. Over time, when an entire market has more labor supply, that does not result in additional profit for a given business. All competitors have the same advantage. What happens is the price lowers. This is a battle between whiny protectionist tech workers complaining about only making $160k/yr and the consumers of their employers' offerings.
Bad analogy. We are talking about a transaction of labor for money. You have no right to tell me I cannot offer training services to an employer for money.
Easiest mistake to make is misunderstanding that offshoring is NOT a apples for apples replacement and it does require unique skills and new expense to make it work.
There are plenty of offshore firms who have successful relationships with US companies. Select one of these firms and try them out. If it fails, it's probably you.
Um, no. The increase to $100k for H1-B pushes employers to use US labor in exactly the same way that a $15/hr min wage pushes employers to use automation. When you increase the cost of one alternative, you make other alternatives more attractive.
Ok, let's say I'm a business hiring an H1-B. How do you prevent me from using a lower salary title that only really describes part of the person's job description? Outside of govt and large corporations, job titles are less meaningful and job descriptions are very fluid.
Low pay? What are you talking about? Here is the most recent data on internships and entry level tech company positions in Silicon Valley: https://twitter.com/jtc_au/sta...
Do you understand that the median income in the US is around $50k?
Tech workers always come off as completely disconnected from reality when they whine about low pay. There are very few other positions where you can make what you make right out of undergrad and then continue to have wage growth well above COLA.
And then your other point, I don't even know what to do with. You're essentially complaining that tech workers have other even more lucrative opportunities open to them, so they leave tech. Wtf is a problem there?
My brain hurts after trying to process this. A $100k min wage for H1-Bs... brings us closer to a free market? Let's be honest here. Tech worked hard H1-Bs because tech workers are enjoying a demand-supply imbalance in their favor leading to $150k-$250k salaries for jobs that used to be in the $90k-$150k range. Bringing in more supply is taking away the punch bowl.
We can debate whether this is good or bad for the US. But we can't even get there because people are pretending this is a distortive force rather than regulating force.
It is not that simple. It is much harder for an H1-B to change jobs. I'm not sure it's true that a large employer would always prefer a $90k US citizen over a $100k H1-B.
This is one part of the H1-B program that I do agree needs to be reformed.
Just because one choice has consequences doesn't mean you are forced not to choose it. Most choices have consequences. The examples you cite are all voluntary.
Sorry but this is just outright nuts. Who the hell are you or the govt to say a free person can't provide training services for $25,000 if they want to?
Did someone mention economists? I'm talking about the tech community. It's funny to watch/. understand the relationship between min wage and employment in one context and then pretend it doesn't exist or is even the opposite in the left wing fantasy economics context.

Depends on the stream.

You didn't really answer my question. You basically just said: companies won't be allowed to do that. That is not practical.

How do you deal with the self-selection problem, given the welfare state?

You are right. I confused myself. My workaround is for one of the other equally idiotic anti-H1B proposals.

First come first serve? No. H1-B is a lottery system.
